numbers-- it is intellectually DISHONEST to do that. In fact, being a Harvard student myself, I know it for a fact that most of us are happy to be here, and would choose to come here again if we had to do it all over. We are not always happy, we are often stressed out, and we could probably come up with a list of things that Harvard could do better in, but it is simply OUTRAGEOUS to imply that we are getting a poor education. Many Harvard students were stars in high school and find themselves very ordinary all of sudden at Harvard, and that can be a crippling sensation to some people. Most of us get over it very quickly but some don't. There is nothing wrong with Harvard's advising system - we get everything that others get at other colleges - we have faculty advisors, upperclassman "big brother" or "big sister", House Masters, House tutors in your discipline (these are graduate students who live in dorms, and each dorm has at least ten or more such tutors), student clubs (women in science, for example), and many other informal opportunities. We even have hotlines for anonymous discussions. The quality of teaching can be variable, but we are at Harvard, not in high school, and our idea of learning is self-directed, not spoon-fed. Granted, if you went to Swarthmore or Williams, you might have a professor hold your hand more, but their primary responsibility is teaching not doing the kind of groundbreaking research that Harvard professors do. One privilege of going to Harvard rather than a small school is the opportunity to see these great minds first-hand and be inspired. All professors who teach classes have weekly office hours and if you can get up enough nerve to go, it can be wonderful. Many senior professors teach small freshman seminars with less than 12 people per class. Harvard professors are quite accessible if you have the initiative. They won't come knocking on your dorm room - you have to take the first step. Graduate students who teach sections can be brilliant to terrible, but usually one can shop around for a good teachiing fellow, and plus the grad students need to learn to teach, too, and they can learn from us. Often grad students know exactly when you are having trouble grasping a concept because they recently underwent the same process. Harvard is not exactly a party school, and that's because of who we are, not because of Harvard. There are parties every weekend somewhere, and there are so many things going on on campus every weekend that I rarely have had to venture outside the campus. The House System at Harvard is the crown jewel of the Harvard experience and the envy of other schools. As I pointed out before, very few Harvard students would want to live at MIT (whose campus resembles an industrial complex), Yale (New Haven!), or Princeton, New Jersey, for obvious reasons. The biggest source of stress at Harvard is from having so many things to choose from and from having to measure yourself against so many brilliant classmates. Andrew

suggested, to disprove the myth surrounding Harvard. Rather, it was a response to how out of hand the POV in this article got over the last couple of months, mainly because of Andrew's contributions, but also attibutable to some others (see "Why Harvard is better..." above). The POV was especially offensive because of the undertones it carried - the unwarranted tone of superiority, the condescension towards other schools, the sheer level of obnoxiousness, all put forth under cover of a supposed "factual approach". In the "Why Harvard is better" section, Andrew put forth the following challenge in the spirit of pure arrogance: "The reason why the article is 'out of balance' is because there are so few factual data showing that are better than Harvard in just about anything. If you can find other reliable and relevant information that can 'balance' the picture, by all means, add it to the article." In the same discussion, Paul August opined that "these statements seem factual and relevant", implying that the burden of proof was on others in the community to find balancing information. And it seems evident to me that the community, including the majority of Harvard-affiliated editors who are not self-promoters, has not taken a hard enough stance against the egregious POV language and Harvard boosterism when it appears. That is why I suspect many of us have let the criticism section grow to the extent it has - to balance out the boosterism that always seems to worm its way into the article, and which many editors seem to turn a blind eye to. Dpbsmith has laid out in extensive detail the appropriately neutral tone for this article elsewhere in the discussion. I would encourage the community to be proactive in striving for that level of neutrality, and challenging the POV as it appears. If the article can come close to those standards of neutrality, and maintain it even in the face of the Andrews who sneak in and push their own arrogant agenda, I have no problem with someone editing and tightening the criticism section.

slight lead that Yale might have over others is quite miniscule. In your whole Yale class, maybe one guy a year might end up being a Fortune 500 CEO, more often none. The majority of Fortune 500 CEOs come from little known schools and public schools. Is that a surprise? Of course not. You don't have to be academically brilliant to be a businessman. The number of Fortune 500 CEOs is not a good reflection of how well schools do in producing business leaders. If you looked at the top 5000, it might be more representative. Among those CEOs of large companies with MBAs, Harvard graduates account for 25%, by far the largest number. The WSJ article, on the other hand, is very relevant because it tells you that a quarter of the Harvard graduating class went to top business, law, and medical schools, ie. if you go to Harvard, the chances are about 50% that you will get into a top graduate school. If you went to another school, the chances are lower. Is this misleading or irrelevant information? Is ir irrelevant that Yale has only about 1/3 as many faculty in the National Academy as Harvard while having about the same number of faculty in Arts and Sciences? To me, it shows that Yale is not as strong in the sciences as Harvard. Is this misleading or irrelevant? Also, why all this fuss about the larger class size at Harvard? OK, Harvard has about 25% more undergraduates than Yale, but does it fully account for the difference in the number of National Merit Scholars (40% more), number of Rhodes Scholars (95% more), Marshall Scholars (136% more), or the number of wins in the Putnam Math Competition (24 first-place finishes versus 0 wins, 50 top-five finishes versus 11)? In my personal experience, the majority of the smartest people that I knew in high school who exceled in national competitions and so forth went to Harvard (about 60%). MIT got a few, Stanford got a few, but few went to Yale. Andrew

has to have the same proportion of students graduating with honors, since they don't start out with equally capable group of students in the first place. Harvard may be more generous with the lowest level of honors (cum laude) but it still limits the highest honors to only about 4%. I never claimed that SATs directly correlate with the GPAs (I think the SATs are a stupid test in any case). And I think I've stated pretty clearly before that whatever numbers I cite do not imply anything about individuals. Penn and Cornell are great schools and I would have been happy to go to either of those places if I had to and I would've met plenty of talented people. The COFHE survey issue, again, originated because this supposedly neutral encyclopedia was claiming that Harvard students are much more unhappy than their peers. If you look at the hard data (I'm trained to do that thanks to my Harvard education), only 7% of us actually rate ourselves dissatisfied. Don't you concede that the original article was deliberately misleading and biased? I am not trying to show how great my college is to bolster my ego, but rather trying to straighten out misleading information contributed by biased individuals, such as the ones who originally wrote "Criticisms of Harvard". I happen to go to Harvard so I know about the place better than most people. Personally, I think the people who are insecure are the ones who feel the need to continuously check on another school's website and cry out Harvard "boosterism" whenever they see the slightest hint that Harvard is better than other schools. If you can rebut some of the statistics I've provided before, I would be interested in hearing it. However, I'm in the middle of my exams before the holidays and probably won't be checking back for a while. Merry Christmas! Andrew

workload, compete against brilliant classmates, and also happen to have a life" and "100 years from now, Harvard will still be the greatest institution of higher learning on the face of the earth." I work hard to change the common conception of Harvard students which I think people hold for several reasons: 1) resentment at the societal idea that Harvard University students are universally smarter and 2) that the Harvard students who get noticed are the loud ones who draw attention to the university only for self-promotion. However, Andrew makes some good points about undergraduate life and diversity at Harvard, and I hope most people realize that 95% of Harvard students (and no, I have no source for that) are not shameless self-promoters. Although I appreciate the very close attention that has been given to citations and carefully-worded statements, I still don't feel that this section is justified in its length and detail. Chan Ho expressed satisfaction that the self-promotion was eliminated and expressed satisfaction at the criticism, that "Knowledge, in order to do a good job of NPOV, should mention some of this." However, just leaving criticism is not a NPOV. If you want to be neutral, both sides should then be reported. Why should Knowledge not then mention the good things said about Harvard in society? What is the praise? What is the criticism? And just leaving it unbalanced is not okay. I do not believe that it is Knowledge's job to right the wrongs of society - that it's okay to criticize and not praise Harvard here to combat its inflated reputation in society. If an argument is reported on Knowledge, both sides should be reported, not just one.

the decision between Harvard and some of these schools when I was choosing which college to attend. If I had known what I know now two years ago, it would've been a no brainer. So I think it's important for the uninformed reader to have access to the truth. The reason why the article is "out of balance" is because there are so few factual data showing that these other schools are better than Harvard in just about anything. If you can find other reliable and relevant information that can "balance" the picture, by all means, add it to the article. People would tell me that Harvard is good in the humanities and social sciences and MIT is the best in the sciences and so forth. But in reality, Harvard has by far the largest collection of the best scientists in the country and also has a large share of the very best student mathematicians and scientists, all the while being great in English and history and economics. This doesn't say a darn thing about individual students, of course, but the overall difference is significant and should be noted. By the way, I just looked at the Yale article, and it contains pretty much the same kind of information, e.g. Fortune 500 CEOs, U.S. Presidential candidates, admissions statistics at the Yale Law School, etc. I'm sure the Yalies would love to go on and on if they only could. I do somewhat agree with the point about "insecurity" and "class" but since the information is clearly new to most of you, it does inform and is therefore necessary.

insult to 75% of Harvard students who take time out of their busy schedule to volunteer at the Philips Brooks House (a building dedicated solely to public service at Harvard). There are many Harvard students dedicated to activism and service. Of course, you can point to this book and that book claiming that Harvard students are this and that, but the main purpose of these books is to sensationalize and sell. I've seen at least a dozen books about Harvard since coming here - there are books about being black at Harvard, being gay at Harvard, finding God at Harvard, there was one girl who claimed that all Harvard students were nutcases and cokeheads, there was another one from a recent graduate which claimed that Harvard students are not interested in learning but only in shameless self-promotion (this must be the book you are referring to). You must be incredibly naive if you actually believed all of this. There are many, many different kinds of Harvard students - there are math geniuses, budding scientists who spend all their free time in lab, jocks, concert musicians, pre-meds and pre-laws, socialists, Republicans, activists, environmentalists, writers, and the only thing they have in common is that they possessed some unique characteristic or talent that Harvard found refreshing and valuable. You do great injustice by lumping them into "shameless self-promoters". Andrew

would by definition be in the top 25% of his class at Penn. You draw the unsupported conclusion that there is a direct correlation between median institutional SAT scores and how students would rank in their class based on GPA. You have a tendency to dismiss statistics you don't like (e.g. Harvard's 79% satisfaction rate in the COFHE survey is pretty close to the 85% median of the other schools, so what's the problem?), and trumpet statistics that you do like (e.g. Harvard has a 60 point advantage in median SATs over Penn, so obviously Harvard students must be much smarter than Penn students). You often draw unsupported or wrong conclusions from statistics (and I can give you several examples of this from your prior discussion board entries if you like). You also make a lot of condescending statements about other schools when in fact you don't know anything about those other schools beyond your own arrogant prejudices. You often seem to be working backwards from your already-drawn conclusion that Harvard is best, a conclusion that seems to be based solely on your apparently insecure need to bolster yourself by proving how great your college is. A much more humble person, also apparently affiliated with Harvard, started this discussion by saying that "I can understand how the assumption that Harvard people are somehow smarter can be obnoxious" - you prove this person's point.

written by Harvard students, and all of the quotes in the article, such as "I don't know anyone who likes it here", come from the Harvard community. The Consortium on Financing Higher Education student satisfaction survey is based solely on the responses of students at each of the 31 colleges surveyed - in other words, Harvard's near-bottom rating is based completely on the responses of Harvard students to the survey. And though you may choose to dismiss the survey, it is clear that Harvard's administrators take it very seriously, from their quotes and from the internal memorandum quoted in the Boston Globe article. By the way, the criticisms were not just leveled at Harvard's administration - they were leveled at the most important aspects of the undergraduate experience, including quality of teaching, quality of advising, the residential housing system, and social options. The sum of information suggests that despite all of the statistics you keep citing, the Harvard undergraduate education is seriously flawed, and many Harvard students are clearly very dissatisfied. These are serious enough criticisms, coming from multiple Harvard-based sources, to warrant a place in the "Criticism of Harvard" section.

deportment is always to be seen, and everywhere there is now a pride, in all departments of the University, in observing the proprieties of good conduct." In 1886 Henry James wrote: "The Memorial Hall of Harvard consists of three main divisions: one of them a theater, for academic ceremonies; another a vast refectory, covered with a timbered roof, hung about with portraits and lighted by stained windows, like the halls of the colleges of Oxford; and the third, the most interesting, a chamber high, dim and severe, consecrated to the sons of the university who fell in the long Civil War." I (blush) had to check a dictionary to confirm that a "refectory" is "A room where meals are served, especially in a college or other institution." A 1892-3 Harvard catalog refers to board at "the great dining-room at Memorial Hall" as costing $ 4.25 a week and available to anyone who joins "the Association that uses ." Deportment must have deteriorated by 1906, because a member of the

Harvard's larger class size. They suggest a wide gap against Harvard's peers that may not really exist. Second, selective use of surveys and rankings to connote institutional quality can also be misleading, since different surveys produce different results. The WSJ survey shows that Harvard students do well in getting placed in graduate programs, the Fortune study shows Harvard graduates are poorly represented among Fortune 500 CEOs relative to Yale and Princeton. Which is right, and does either survey really point to the quality or lack thereof of a 350 year-old institution, or its peers? I would argue that all of these new comparisons to peer schools and rankings should be removed, since they can be misleading, and do not really accomplish the mission of an encyclopedia. That goes for my new additions to these sections as well, which I have mainly added to point out the absurdity of what is already there.

3766:. The former was based on a combination of international reputational surveys and the number of citations of published work by faculty. The latter was based on the number of Nobel Prizes won by alumni and faculty, publications in top journals, and research citations. Harvard leads the nation in the number of faculty in the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, an honor given to only about 2,000 most accomplished scientists. Harvard's current membership is at 167, compared to 128 for UC Berkeley, 126 for Stanford, 101 for MIT, 70 for Princeton, and 63 for Yale. Harvard has a large faculty overall but many are clinical faculty affiliated with its professional schools. The Faculty of Arts and Sciences, including the Engineering Division, numbers 1063, compared to 1038 at Yale's School of Arts and Sciences, and 801 at Stanford's Schools of Humanities and Sciences, Earth Sciences, and Engineering. 4804:. Look at Faculty and Elected to Scholarly Academies. MIT actually proudly displays its rankings in U.S. News on their official website - pathetic!!! Harvard is too dignified to do this sort of a thing, of course. 2) "MBA guy", the person who added "legitimate and informative" criticism of Harvard, is clearly biased against Harvard for whatever reason. This section is a prime example of "a clear POV". It's pretty ridiculous for someone who's never gone to Harvard to write this kind of bullshit about how Harvard students feel about their own school. Where did this survey showing that Harvard students are unhappy come from? They never asked me! Harvard students are pretty demanding, so perhaps they can be critical of the administration, but if they were given the chance to transfer to Yale or Princeton or MIT, how many do you think will go for it? Zero! Andrew December 11, 2005 4322:. Look at Faculty and Elected to Scholarly Academies. MIT actually proudly displays its rankings in U.S. News on their official website - pathetic!!!

you to become arrogant and condescending...the best I got was from a girl who, when I told her that I was a Harvard student, replied in a relatively irritated way, "Wow, you must be rich." (My response: "Umm...OK"; my thoughts: "Yeah, I guess, but what difference does it make?") My point is that the Harvard name, with all of its positive connotations, carries various negative ones as well - stereotypes that are only exacerbated by such (otherwise excellent) movies as "Good Will Hunting" and "How High". Say what you want about the braggadocio (that's what the Talk page is for, after all), but implying that some hypocrisy is created by taking a different approach to generally agreed-upon facts (the "general agreement", in this case, being a main function of the Knowledge vetting system) versus socially constructed prejudices seems a little unfair... - myu kulathungam ('04) 2 December 2005

clear picture of what kind of person he is, and what his POV is. I would encourage the community to take a serious look at Andrew's "contributions" to this article with NPOV in mind, and make revisions or reverts as necessary (he contributes under the IP address 170.223.183.78). Andrew seems to have the tendency to put out completely unsupported bouts of arrogance (e.g. "a below-average student at Harvard would be in the top quartile at a school like Penn or Cornell") in the discussion board and he then puts statistics and claims in the article without sourcing them. At a minimum, he has a clear and exceptionally arrogant POV, but more importantly, many of the claims he is putting in the article may be flat out wrong, and without sourcing, we have no way to check his many claims. He already triggered one NPOV flag in the past month...

particular (I would guess that HLS and especially HBS have significantly different politics). Then there's the characterization of that political position. The current wording is "liberal left-wing politics", and the proof you give for this is that 73% favored Kerry. Yes, Kerry is to the left of Bush, but it was a close contest, and it is wrong to characterize him as "left-wing" as opposed to "left of center". Next question is the point of comparison. I'll agree that a reasonable comparison is the U.S. median (even though that has moved to the right -- surely Ashcroft is radical right, for example). Another reasonable comparison would be other Ivy League schools or other elite universities. Perhaps (I really don't know) undergraduates at all elite universities are more liberal than elsewhere.

4986:

It seems like every week some new editor or anonymous-IP editor comes along whose attention, invariably, is drawn instantly to the reputation of Harvard; he/she enthusiastically fills the article with more boosterism or criticism -- and usually is quickly answered by another editor with the opposite agenda. But somehow, nobody ever seems to have the slightest interest in improving the factual parts of the article -- the parts which describe what Harvard IS (as opposed to what people think of it). I'm as guilty of this as anybody else is; I've been meaning to give the page a major overhaul for over a year and just haven't gotten around to it because I'm too daunted by the size of the undertaking. But somehow the boosters and detracters are never daunted; which is why the page is as it is.

same thing in fin de siecle academia, only to find the upstarts from across the drink breathing down their backs shortly thereafter. The Harvard of the 22nd century, to borrow the expression, will very likely not even be this side of the Pacific. I daresay, impermanence is a revelation wasted on the dead. I don't even need to touch on the efforts of Ol' Larry to run you guys into the ground of late. He's probably been plotting since his days at Senior Haus. No doubt surprised you kept him aboard so long. Anyway, Andrew, you've gone a long way to bring me a small bit of amusement. I assure you it is much needed, since, unlike yourself, I don't happen to have a life, and I don't compete against brilliant classmates, I work with them. 08:35, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I didn't discuss it at the time. Now, I'd like to find some more NPOV language which clarifies the situation. For one thing, an institution like Harvard--especially when one considers all the schools--reflects a wide variety of political positions. There are some very left-wing professors at the Law School, and some very conservative professors in the business school--and vice versa. Though most FAS professors seem pretty centrist, some are rather Left and others are rather Right. There are undergraduate liberal organizations, and undergraduate conservative organizations. That said, I agree that Harvard is used as a whipping-boy by the Right, and that is worth reporting. Any suggestions on how to approach this? --

deviation of about 70-80. So a below-average Harvard student would indeed be in the top 25% at Cornell or Penn. I did not mean to sound arrogant, nor was I trying to put down Cornell or Penn (my older brother went to Penn and it's a fine school), but was just making an observation. The same way that I was observing that Harvard is overall stronger academically than Yale, which the president of Yale himself is quite willing to acknowledge but 69.110.21.81 just can't. The actual survey result is in the figure in the Globe article, as I state above, and the source is the same as the source used by the previous author. All the statistics I've cited are valid- I may be arrogant but at least I am not dishonest. Andrew

number of National Merit Scholars (312 out of 2500 national winners, followed by 224 at Yale, 217 at Stanford, and 192 at Princeton), National Achievement Scholars, and Westinghouse/Intel Science Competition winners. Harvard undergraduates lead the nation in winning the prestigious Rhodes and Marshall Scholarships to British universities. Harvard students have won the Putnam Mathematical Competition more than any other university in North America (24 first place finishes, 50 top five finishes), well ahead of rivals such as MIT (5 first place finishes, 35 top five finishes), Caltech (9 first place finishes, 28 top five finishes), and Princeton (23 top five finishes).

Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Brigham and Women's Hospital. These five actually make up the top five non-university recipients of NIH funding in the country. When these five hospitals are included, Harvard's funding is well over 1 billion. It is only fair to include the hospitals, since other schools with affiliated hospitals include the NIH money given to their hospitals, which make up the bulk of the total. The difference is that Johns Hopkins University owns the Johns Hopkins Hospital, U. Penn owns the Hospital of the Univ of Penn, but Harvard does not own Mass General (although Mass General was founded by Harvard professors and all the doctors at Mass General are on the Harvard faculty).

only should Harvard have no place on Knowledge, it shouldn't look so obsessively insecure, which only makes us a laughingstock. The moral of this story: you asked where my authority came from, and the point was that you had no way of knowing, nor does anyone. That goes for every contributor including the guy who should put his thinking cap on and strip his cats for fur. I look forward to my next (lifetime?) ban. Don't worry though, I won't be back (though I expect Wiki advocates will come to the rescue and either delete this or write three hundred self-righteous responses to it, none of which I will see). I apologize for being rude but many of you seem not to understand what you're doing.

claim that the criticisms about Harvard come from 3rd parties and are therefore not biased, the fact that this section exists for Harvard and for no other university clearly demonstrates a biased view: that the myth surrounding Harvard should be disproven - and not the myth surrounding any other school. Many people are just as impressed by the Yale and Stanford name. It seems to me that whoever wrote this feels a particular resentment toward Harvard for its reputation. I can understand how the assumption that Harvard people are somehow smarter can be obnoxious, but this is ridiculous. I feel like deleting it, but I thought I should open discussion before getting rid of it.

1599:"Harvard College." I don't see it as a problem that this page doesn't discuss the Kennedy School, the Law School, etc., in a great deal of detail, because if someone is linking to or looking for info on those graduate schools, they will likely link to those pages. If some do see it as a problem, then this page could be expanded to talk more about the rest of the university. However, I do not believe information about the College should be moved off this page. Also, compare this page to other university pages across Knowledge. Most of them also show a similar focus on the undergraduate portions of the university. Furthermore, 4874:

Yale simply because Harvard was giving out more honors. ". Actually you are incorrect. It never claimed that. It claimed and still claims that concerns have been raised because of that. That is absolutely true, given the media attention to that issue. And note that enough people grew concerned that the 2005 class will be getting much less honors. One thing you need to straighten out is the difference between saying "X has property Y" and "Some people say X has property Y". Knowledge makes statements of both all the time, and the latter is often appropriate, although some, such as you, confuse it with the former. --

been included, and most importantly, the whole section reads like the fringe rant of an exceptionally insecure Harvard student who feels the need to justify himself by "proving" that his school is somehow in a class by itself. The author's own comments in the discussion above justifying his POV language because "Harvard really is so much better than all the other schools and the uninformed reader has a right to know" is as bizarre and embarrassing a rant as I have ever read on Knowledge. The POV flag that has been placed on this article is appropriate, and the whole rankings/comparison section should be removed.

Harvard doesn't count recipients of those as alumni. Apparently chooses not to claim Gates as one officially, though the directory does say that those who attended are considered alumni in that context when it's apparent that they won't re-register. Student and student-run have different meanings. One refers to the target audience the other to those who are producing it. The Crimson pitches itself as the university and sometimes the town daily newspaper, so student-run seems to better describe it, though I'll leave it to somene else to change it if they agree. Fair enough on the survey data.

belong on the article. This goes not just for Harvard, but for other schools as well; if the other schools, such as MIT, Princeton, Stanford, Yale, etc. have statistics to back up their prestige, I think those statistics belong on those pages. The questions to ask are, first, (1) are the statistics factual and (2) do people care about these statistics? If so on both counts, they're okay. The US News rankings, etc., are stuff that, even if you disapprove of this being the case, nevertheless does seem to attract a lot of press coverage and affect people's opinions toward universities.

objective academic criteria. When you have 10 people who went to the U.S. Math Olympiad in your freshman math class, it is simply not the same thing as when you have one person who went to the Math Olympiad, let's say at a school like Yale. Someone who barely got an A- at Harvard might well have been at the very top of the entire class if he or she went to a lesser school. Harvard professors recognize that their students are the cream of the cream and are simply rewarding outstanding performance for its own sake. Andrew

And it meant that early documents and legislation relating to the founding of Harvard were subject to endorsement by a foreign power. From 1636 to 1650 Harvard was operated without a charter, untested by Crown or Parliament, making it an operation of questionable legality. (P.S. The Regicides had to flee Cambridge for New Haven, where they received more reliable protection. Trend-setting?<g: --> 4043:. Look. I don't personally have any problem whatever with the idea that Harvard is the premier university in the U. S. (although I have a big problem with, as Alex Beam calls it ironically, deeming it the WGU, World's Greatest University). One of the characteristics of Yale is the truly large number of metrics by which it can be characterized as "second only to Harvard." I have no problem with some kind of well-sourced quotation that makes it clear in one fairly succinct sentence that Harvard has a special status. 31: 3322:

vulnerable to vandals and pranksters; that comes with the territory. I don't see what you mean by saying you are is "sick of seeing Harvard associated with this ridiculousness." The article itself looks pretty good to me. Do you find the Harvard article ridiculous? Or do you feel that Harvard should actively try to prevent us from including an article about Harvard at all, because Harvard ought to take a principled opposition to Knowledge's nontraditional scholarly methodology?

I hope others contribute, and then the whole giant section gets moved to the talk page. :-) Your devotion to your alma mater is commendable, but unfortunately your attitude and need to prove that Harvard is the greatest in the world at absolutely everything is one of the most common criticisms of Harvard students and alumni (also now noted in the Criticism section). -

1096:"regional Harvards", I think we would be censoring information if we didn't include it. It's a common phenomenon, common enough that not only are there numerous serious mentions of it but also spoofs of the phenomenon.

Regarding Lowellian's other comment, that most university pages are undergrad-focused, I would observe that Harvard is unusually decentralized (see ETOB) in comparison to other universities, making a university-equals-college page especially confusing.

That the show is "no-holds-barred" may proceed from that, but that men play all the parts is only a small part of the burlesqueness of the show. Because burlesque shows may be of such variety and may be "no-holds-barred" (and so might include strip-tease), they may be considered reserved for adults, but that adultness is rather incidental to the tenor of the show, which is burlesque. 3806:. Please discuss why this text is objectionable and gain a consensus before deleting it again. Thanks. Obviously that " the overall quality of faculty and students at Harvard is higher" than others, is clearly debatable.

And even if it did, a detailed list of rankings information is just not very worthy of the main entry -- a few primary stats should suffice.

dining hall, known as "Annenberg." (I believe that in the early 20th century it was a college-run dining hall; but in the late 19th century there was no such thing: many students ate in their boarding-houses or belonged to private eating clubs and Memorial hall was run as a student co-operative by and for those who couldn't afford to do so. It was built not for this purpose but to hold alumni gatherings.)

P. S. In fact, the "prestige" disease spreads, because when people see it made in a college that's only a bit more prestigious then theirs, they figure their college deserves it, too. It is literally the case that someone gave as a reason for including a "prestige" statement in the MIT article the

If "reputation" and "prestige" mean the same thing, then why not say Harvard "enjoys the highest reputation among U. S. schools" and cite U. S. news as the source on that? Why the coupled insistence on a) using the word "prestige" and b) either not backing it up at all, or backing it up by sources

It is factual that Harvard is older than the US. You could also make the (absurd) argument that it is boosterism to mention that the college is the oldest in the US. The point is that much of Harvard's history was dictated by the fact that it was founded before the nation. It is a fact.
